    Annoyed that I haven't made this trip yet. This place is a new go-to spot for us. Even in the miserable rain, the wood fireplace inside radiates all the way onto the outside porch by the incredible lake. Watching the ducks frolic is an added bonus. The Adam and Eve pizza had us hooked at the first bite. The Mr Pig is never ending and delicious. I'm excited to try the rest of the menu.

    I may have got the short end of the stick on this one because I had only heard good things about this place until I went there. Waited forever for a waiter to be seeded, then waited forever again for drinks orders to be taken. Then waited a good 15 minutes before the drinks came and the meal orders to be taken. When the meal was eventually brought an hour later, the burger was cold and the bun was super hard and dry, the block of potato that was meant to be chips was scorching hot on the outside and colder than ice on the inside. I literally hurt my tooth biting into an ice block in the middle of fire, or so it felt.

  • 4/5 Debby P. 1 year ago on Google
    Good value for money. And tasty food. Very friendly stuff. For my taste a bit too rustic and the quality could be a bit better. But if you want to have nice big portions for a great deal - this is your place to go. Nice location and great run. The jalapeño poppers were my highlight.

    We had a vegan pizza and the chicken style vegan burger. Absolutely delicious food at a great setting next to the dam. Outside seating is available with some wind breakers. The service was a bit too slow but the quality of the food made up for it.

😐 Nothing much to rave about here unfortunately. It's average at best. The savory pancake we had, chicken mayo and also chicken and mushroom was difficult to eat. It was packed full of thick white sauce which spoiled the meal. Food feels heavy and not easy to eat. Rather stick to the pancake and ice c...
